Custom Picture Tours

It's a great tour, Cathy.  I will never look at a sheep and not think of the British Isles.  Ireland is covered with sheep too.  The winter scarf I bought there is from the Foxford mills in County Mayo.

Peggy I have put in a link to an article about the Black Country I wrote last year - hope you enjoy it. There are quite a few explanations as to why it is called the Black Country - the area incorporates a large coal seam which was mined in the Industrial Revolution and the area was also black with factory smog from all the factories that used to be here which is probably how it go its name. My favourite explanation is that Queen Victoria travelled through the area by train as was reported to have shut the curtains as she didn't want to look at such a "Black Country"!

Sally - my husband's father came from Walsall too - on the edge of the Black Country but definitely the real deal!

I think everyone must be snow bound, great tours from Peggy, Stephanie & Sally.

Peggy has got a gorgeous snowdrop tour, thinking of Spring Peggy?

Stephanie has a tour of Beautiful British Beaches which was so good to look at after a very, very hot day here

And Sally has started a tour called Any Old Iron, which will probably be fascinating. Great stuff to surf through (no pun intended Stephanie), lol

I'm amazed Cathy, you must have spotted my Any Old Iron tour in a matter of minutes. At present there is little to see but I will add to it asap

Very clever idea for a tour, Sally.

And I love the Black Country, Stephanie.  The wheels are already turning in my head for the next time we come over.  We may just have to skip Ireland this time, so we can do Wales which isn't too far from the Black Country. 

That would be wonderful Ruth as I really want us to get together - and Wales is my favourite part of Britain - it has everything you want from the rest of Britain in a smaller area!

Love the tours everyone and glad you like mine. I haven't quite finished the beach one yet but it is nearly there.

Anyone care to look at "A little ray of Sunshine" more to come on that one hopefully

"On gossamer wings" all dragonflies (a special favourite insect of mine)

Here are the links to Cathy's wonderful new tours. You have put some hard work into these Cathy!

I love your other two new tours too Cathy - I submitted a picture of a baby donkey & mother yesterday taken at Bodenham - we saw the donkey when she was pregnant so it was lovely to see.
